Under clear skies and with the temperature at about freezing, I set off late on a Saturday morning in search of adventures along Piney Woods Church Road. Perhaps it was the forecast, calling for more of the same for days on end, briefly interrupted by warmer weather on Monday, that made me seek out patches of green and buds suggesting spring. I took quite a few photographs of mosses and the green leaves of a vine I have yet to identify. But in the end, I selected this photograph of a vine tendril beside the roadway, looking back toward the junction with Rico Road. There is a patch of distant green, at least — the blurred outlines of a pair of cedars. Springtime seems quite distant at the moment, too.
